Cooking has been my lifelong passion. I studied under the "Masters" at the world-renowned French Culinary Institute and was Chef to New York's Rich & Famous for many many years. My web-page is one of the most popular "party-planning & holiday entertaining" sites on the internet. http://www.vernalisapartypage.com/

Toprotect your special Meetup membership, pleaserespect Meetup cancellation deadlines with all our The Chefs Table activities activities and inform us at the very latest one day before events, should you change your mind not to attend. Thank you.I delete NO SHOWS no excuses . the new "rules of participation":

If you RSVP for an event that requires that you bring a dish to share, and you do not cook, didn’t have time to make something, etc., the super markets sell pre-made platters of fruit, vegetables, cheese and meat, desserts, etc., at reasonable prices. Or, stop at KFC, or a pizza place on your way to the event and pick-up one of these as your contribution to share with everyone. Repeat offenders will be excluded from the group and removed from the e-mail list.

Water is always welcome; however, it is not an acceptable substitute for a "required" food contribution. The majority of our Members bring water or another beverage and food to share. And, if you bring a beverage that you do not wish to share with the group, please, please, put you name on the bottle(s), can(s), etc. If you do not, please don’t complain that others have consumed your beverage(s).

Participant fees MUST be paid at the time of arrival – even if you arrive late. Anyone who refuses to pay – even if you have brought a food and/or drink contribution, will be asked to leave. Once again, the majority of our Members play by the rules, but some do not and/or have made negative comments to the person collecting the money about this requirement. Repeat offenders will be excluded from the group and removed from the e-mail list.
